Pest Control And Disease Diagnosis

In these cases, we offer safe and effective treatments to address and prevent future problems. We are focused on sustainability, and do our best to work in harmony with the natural environment. One of the ways we accomplish that goal is by using environmentally friendly treatments that manage disease and pests, while also protecting beneficial insects and preserving the natural ecosystem.

Emerald Ash Borer Treatment

Emerald ash borer is the latest invasive pest to migrate to Colorado. It's an Asian species that made its way to America around 2002, and these beetles have no natural predators to help contain them. Considered one of the most destructive forest pests in the history of North America, the emerald ash borer population will only continue to grow without the proper management.

If you have ash trees, give us a call! Unfortunately question of if, but when your tree will be infested with emerald ash borer. If your trees have not been infested yet, we’ll take steps to prevent this beetle from invading. If your trees have been affected by emerald ash borer already, we’ll evaluate the situation and take the best possible course of action to prevent them from spreading and, if possible, save your tree.
